Apple runs amended Samsung 'apology' notices

Apple has today (November 2) run adverts in British national newspapers stating Samsung did not copy the iPad, as well as removing an earlier notice on its website after a stinging rebuke from a UK judge.

In today's Guardian newspaper, Apple has taken out a small advert featuring the verdict of the original court ruling in July that the Galaxy Tab and iPad appear "similar", but Samsung was not a copycat as its tablet was "not as cool" as Apple's.

The advert just features the text of the ruling and does not have any Apple branding.

But crucially, the advert also does not feature the editorial commentary that Apple placed on a previous notice on its website, which stated that whilst the UK court had cleared Samsung, judges in other countries had not.
